Solar Flashings run in Genius Family

2 mins

Genius Roof Solutions; a family-owned business based in Lancashire, is celebrating 20 years of designing innovative roofing products.

The company’s success has been driven by the inspiration of founder Jimmy Hall, whose ingenuity and imagination teamed with 50 years of roofing experience, ensures roofers are equipped with tools that save them time, money and inconvenience. Jimmy has been nominated for his outstanding contribution to the industry in the Pitched Roofing Awards in November.

Genius Roof Solutions are renowned for their ‘Hallclip’ lead flashing clip and the ‘Hallhook’ slate repair clip. In 2011 they entered the renewable energy industry with the SolarFlash®; a plastic flashing solution which fits around the solar mounting bracket and guarantees the weather tightness of the roof.

Following on from the success of SolarFlash, in 2023 SpeedFlash® introduced an innovative, drill-free fixing method eliminating the need to remove slates, significantly speeding up the solar mounting bracket installation time. 

The SpeedFlash® received a commendation in the Best Innovative Product category at this year’s SEAI Energy Show and has also been shortlisted for Most Innovative Product at the upcoming Pitched Roofing Awards.

In August they were delighted to join the NFRC as a Supplier Member and say “We are very aligned to the NFRC; we have been improving roofing standards for the past decade as part of our commitment to drive and influence standards within the solar industry. Our aim is to continue to be the roofing conscious of the solar industry for the next 20 years”
